Adam Winter Records Game-Winning Single In Extra Innings

Wilburton, Okla.-Adam Winter singled in the game-tying run in the ninth and then produced the game-winning run in the bottom of the tenth to push Ozarks past Austin College 4-3 in Wilburton, Okla., Tuesday afternoon.

With one out, Winter took the first pitch and ripped a bases loaded single to drive in the winning run in the bottom half of the tenth. He also provided a clutch hit in the ninth to even the score 3-3. Ozarks starter Keaton Ramsey retired the side in both the first and second innings and the junior right-hander kept Austin College (9-15) off the board in the third as well. Ramsey worked another quick inning in the fourth and then pitched scoreless innings in the fifth and sixth before Austin scored in the seventh. Ozarks (10-13) broke a scoreless game when Justin Crider drew a bases loaded walk in the fifth inning to make it 1-0. Trailing 3-1, Andrew Beck had an RBI single to close the gap to 3-2 in the eighth. Ozarks would generate a run in the ninth to send the game into extra innings when Dakota Ebarb led off with a double. Ebarb advanced to third on the next at-bat, and Winter brought him home to even the score. Jacob Barker (2-3) was inserted in the ninth and kept the Kangaroos off the board to receive his second win of the season.

Ozarks totaled 13 hits, with Patrick Clifford pacing the team with a 3-for-5 performance. Ramsey went six and two-third innings and did not allow an earned run.

Ozarks will travel to Conway to face Hendrix College April 5.
